I had to start a thread because this was one of my favorite episodes of the year. How is every character that Carl creates so perfect? The opening segment of Scott asking him questions that forced him to contort to various semi-musical answers was such a classic old-school CDR/CBB bit.

I was convulsing with laughter for the opening. Part of it was just because the singing was so funny - but also, laughing at the fact that he was going to have to sustain it for the duration of the episode.

Scott's blatant setups later on were gold. Especially when Carl didn't seem to get them quite so immediately.
